Which means that, canonically, water can be used as jump 'fuel'. For a
system that's known for being incredibly fussy about the composition of
the metal used for the jump 'grid' (or whatever your favourite edition
uses), jump drives really don't much care about their working fluid.
Sure, there's a chance of a misjump if you use unrefined fuel, but
considering how different water is to liquid hydrogen, they're still
really unfussy.

I'm still not allowing it in my games.
